Getting Error code 0x80048820 Sorry, we were unable to sign you in to Windows Live ID at this time. Please try again later

I've made these changes but, once again, the hotmail login keeps asking me to confirm my username and password and, when I close that window, I get the following message:

"Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail (rggraham1947) account. An incorrect password was entered. The next time you send or receive messages, you'll be asked to enter your user name and password for this account.

Back to the Properties dialogue. On the Advanced tab, select This server requires a secure connection (SSL) and make sure the server port for outgoing mail is 587. Make sure also that you have selected My server requires authentication on the Servers tab.

Remove any unsent messages from the outbox, then close down Windows Live Mail and wait a few minutes for the program to complete its housekeeping and store the new SSL settings. Re-launch the program, then compose a new test message with a unique subject and send it to yourself. Post any new error message in your reply.

Having spent the past few weeks wondering what I've done to my computer I've stumbled across this forum this evening and relieved in a way that maybe its not my fault my windows live email no longer works! Mine stopped working a week or so before Christmas. Is there an answer yet as why its not working and more importantly, is there a laymans response to put it right again?? Many thanks.

Maybe an uninstall of IE8 followed by a re-install or a move to a later version? My gut feel is on tightening of security (at their end of course). Many MS programs like Skype rely on IE internet settings.

The host 'smtp-mail.outlook.com ' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly.

You didn't! There is a trailing space after .com☐. Right-click on the account name in the folder pane and select Properties. Amend the server name on the Servers tab.

I corrected that but still no success:

The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was '******@hotmail.com'.
